Ham and Cheese Baked Ziti!

     If you or someone in your house is a mac and cheese lover then this recipe is so for you!  I love it and so do my kids!  It has such a good flavor and the large ziti noodles make it more fun than regular mac and cheese from a box! This is a Betty Crocker recipe I got from my friend Jianette's blog http://mommy2damacs.blogspot.com/2011/10/kid-approved-dinner.html
